Trav Hart Gets Carter and John Wick!
Trav Hart created this piece for me at last year’s HeroesCon. It’s actually my third piece from Trav (so watch for the other two).
Pairing John Wick and Jack Carter seems like a natural.
You can see more of Trav’s art at his site… and here in the coming weeks.
The Lost Scenes from “Rocky”
If you’re a Rocky or Stallone fan, then you probably noticed right away that the scene in the photo above doesn’t appear in the movie. Sadly, although the scene was filmed, it and all of the other Rocky deleted scenes and outtakes were destroyed some time in the 1980s.
Luckily for fans who’d love to see what could have been, The Edit Room Floor features rare and unpublished stills from classic films… and they have coverage of The Lost Scenes from Rocky.

Rare “Rocky” Photo!
While going through the Zablo vault I came across this rare shot of Rocky and Adrian from the original Rocky. It’s one of my favorites. You can see a larger version by clicking on it.
5 Leroy Neiman Rocky Paintings and a Mystery!
Leroy Neiman, the world famous sports artist, made cameo appearances in Rocky 3, 4, 5 and Rocky Balboa. Neiman’s art could also be seen in several of the Rocky movies. The most famous Neiman Rocky art is the painting shown above. You’ll see copies hanging in many sports bars and man caves throughout the world. I have one of the original release prints that my wife surprised me with when I was in college way back when the piece was first released.
The painting above is the second most known Neiman Rocky painting. It appeared at the very end of Rocky III. To the best of my knowledge it was never released as an official Neiman print although there are many knock-offs and other artist copies out there.
Neiman created the painting above for Rocky V. My understanding is it was released as a limited edition print for a fundraiser. The print above was signed by Tommy Morrison.
The Neiman watercolor study above was offered up for auction and hopefully won by a Stallone fan.
And now for the mystery. The very bad image above is of a Neiman Rocky piece that sharp-eyed fans spotted during a vintage Barbara Walters interview with Sly Stallone. The art was/is in Sly Stallone’s personal collection. Here’s the mystery — was the piece ever released as a print or shown anywhere else? Are there any good copies of it around? If anyone knows, please forward the information and I’ll be sure to share it.

Thomas Boatwright Makes a ‘F.I.S.T.”
I really like Thomas Boatwright’s riff on Sly from F.I.S.T. Hopefully, you do as well.
Over the years I’ve gotten several Stallone pieces from Thomas. Click on the link to see what has been posted so far… there are more to come.
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his instagram. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
